It is alleged that on Saturday last week, Mugwamba accused his wife of having an extra marital affair and threatened to kill her.

The court heard that one of his wife’s bosses tried to intervene to calm the situation by taking Mugwamba outside the gate.

It is alleged that during the scuffle, Mugwamba stabbed his wife and her boss with a knife on the stomach and both sustained deep cuts.

The two were rushed to Parirenyatwa Hospital where they are receiving treatment.
